FEATURED DISCUSSION: Mario Kart 8 by Malachite
Just got home from the SAT, and now I see this.
Arrrrrrrrrghhghghghhghg.
Every time i see a new mega i just think one mega closer to M torterra and M Zekrom…
Yes…
Mega Zekrom…
*drools*
We are on the way to our Dream mega buddy!
:O I took my Sat Subject test in Chemistry today c:
What i cant wait for is when they make ORAS DEMOS 😀
they had one for x/y so why not ORAS
And being downloaded from eshop hopefully :/
Mega Blaziken still looks amazing even after almost a year of being revealed.. Hands down, one of the best Megas designed.
eh i love mega sceptiles design the most
Never would’ve guessed :p
your going to get hate on for this comment
Agreed. Although I actually quite like these 2. It’s interesting how the grass starters (Venusaur and Sceptile) keep the most resemblance to their base forms.
IM Kinda craving a M.Cacturne
I know right. I would love one.
Well at least mega sceptile can’t get paralyzed like other fast glass cannons. just gotta watch out for talonflames
I hope good move tutors are added. A lot of Pokemon would benefit from them. E.g. Drain Punch Chesnaught, Elemental Punch Pangoro, Delphox with a plethora of new moves, and Mega Sceptile which will hopefully get Dragon Pulse again as well as Earth Power as TC suggested.
I’d be ecstatic if it got Power Gem too xD
Forgot Power Gem xD That would be great also.
Robin XD
Substitute 😉
Before it takes a Brave Bird/Acrobatics to the face.
Drain punch for swampert
I guess I’m lucky I decided to train a Sceptile last week!!
well now that mega sceptile has been announced, I migh replace roserade on my team with it. Even though i’ll have 2 mega’s
Unlesss roserade ends up getting a Mega Evolution
Team Aqua’s members look much more interesting than Magma’s. I have to know more about the games to decide which to go with. Since this will be my first time playing Hoenn.
Same here
I actually think Maxie looks amazing. Those glasses suit him so much.
He’s working undercover for Team Flare
I usually just go by The legend and the version exclusives. So i’m going with AS
Wonder what new thing E3 will give us about these games
Mega Sableye
just a trailer of the corocoro info basically plus a q&a with junichi probably
I hope someone asks “Why Lightningrod?”
ikr! XD
I don’t even want them to say ” why does Sceptile get lightningrod” I want em just to say “Why lightningrod”
No Q&A because Masuda does not have a roundtable booked.
Wow, the evil teams’ admins can use Mega Evolution? 😮
Diancie looks like a true princess now.
Grass/Dragon is awesome, though Lightning Rod is sort of unnecessary since this type combination resists Electric…
Mega Swampert is so bulky. 😀
Pirates!!!
Brandon and May! Wonder if you can customize them…
I must confess i somehow hated Mega Evolutions when they were first announced. Now that I think about it seems a logical way to keep things fresh. We all know, they can’t or won’t announce new Pokemon unless new generation is announced. All we can get is new forms or whatever. Now that we have megaevoultions since there will be no distrubtion in the national pokedex, we expect “new evoultions” with this remakes.
I really want all the male feebas to be able to have an evolution + a mega evolution as in two seperate mega stones for female and male would be pretty good in my opinion
So male Feebas evolve into a separate pokemon?
yea pretty muchh like instead of using a prism scale they could use dragon scale
That’d be cool…It’d be even cooler if Milotic was retyped to Fairy/Water and then the male feebas evo would be Water/Dragon.
omg that would be a perfect ideaaaaa we should all inquire to gamefreak
That would be dope. Milotic has always been one of those feminine pokemon that can’t really be unisex.
like gardevoir XD
yyyeeeeeeeaaaaaa
I guess our pokemon probably won’t be following us in this game. I feel that would’ve been one of the first things that would have been released. It probably would’ve been really difficult to do for these games though. Of course none of the screenshots really disprove it, but still. All well! Maybe one day again.
Hopefully. But the people who Added in the Pokémon walking with you in HG/SS haven’t been on any game freak pokemon games since
Hm didn’t know that. Yeah I’d rule out them following us for sure then.
I just noticed something. That background during the. Groudon fight. Holy shit that looks amazing,
I go to Maleficent, and when I come back I see this! Kinda disappointed by Magma, though. Loving Mega Sceptile! And Mega Diancie looks really cool!
HOW WAS ITTTTT
Awesome! I love young Maleficent!
Oh, are you new?
yea a lil i guess lol
There’s so many pokemon I wanna use with so little space in my team.
Lucario
Flygon
Dragalge
Sharpedo
Seviper ;-;
Take out Lucario and Dragalge and then add a fire type, an electric, and maybe a flying. Swellow, Manectric, and Blaziken, maybe? I’m assuming this would be your ORAS team?
So many ways to play around with a Substitute set on Mega Sceptile. Could run mixed, possibly Iron Tail to surprise Fairies, Hidden Power Ice or Fire (My Shiny one has Dark, so that’s not half bad either). Rock Slide is still an option especially if Attack gets buffed a bit too. Giga Drain of course to replenish Substitute health. There’s a lot to play around with. Threaten things out, Sub, and get some nice hits in xD
The only pokemon it has to watch out for are scizor and ESPICALLY Talonflame.
HP Fire or Rock Slide behind a Sub 😉 I’m definitely gonna be experimenting with different sets xD
Lol, now that the news is sinking in, you’re thinking! 😀
It’s basically thinking in terms of having a strong Pokemon that has no Ability.
PLAY DOUBLES
NO! I LIKE SINGLES
[Peer pressure intensifies]
Imagine a VGC match with Milotic! It helps cover the electric weakness! xD
Only the positive side it can’t be paralyzed by T wave. So your sweep can’t be stopped. Also discharge in doubles.
Iron tail for Ice types, too, because of its 4x weakness. It’s a big risk tho.
Mega Hariyama would be cool and unexpected
And it’s thighs get even BIGGER.
Mega Harriyama vs Mega Swampert in a wrestling match
while brendan and brawley are surfing the tides in a competition
Yay! With Lightning Rod and Grass/Dragon typing, Mega Sceptile will stop that annoying thing known as Rotom-W.
As shofu said, Rotom is GONE, CAPUT, DONE, it’s gone from the metagame xD
Rotom will be forced to run HP Ice.
Even with scarf I don’t think it will outspeed mega sceptile or survive hit.
True. But it can predict the switch…
yay it really counters it. With 4x resistance to both stabs. I can see a lot of people using mega sceptile since EVERYBODY uses rotom wash
IF ANYONE WHO SLAYS WITH THE SWORD, THEN HE MUST BE SLAIN.

It would reaaally hurt to be hit by Sceptiles tale…
tail* dangit
WE WORK IN THE DARK, TO SERVE THE LIGHT.
Grovyles spirit must live on!
In brightest day, in blackest night no evil shall escape its sight
Those who evil’s might, beware my power
Mega Sceptile fight!
those who worship*
Sceptile’s tale = daggger
NEED MOAR MEGAS!!!
Specifically Sableye. I like Sableye.
Seriously though….it has to happen.
I want Mega salamence with sheer force and mega breloom
Mega breloom would be good. As would Sharpedo and Keckleon.

What the Mega Swampert sprite CURRENTLY looks like. Ignore the partially visible arm o_o It’s another layer in the picture. The Vibrant colors on the outline are only being used to keep track of where the different parts separate/meet.
Could you help sprite for my fangame?
Sure :3
Thanks so much!
mega sceptile = waifu
Then what does it make Mega Swampert? Husbando?
tanku
Was mega dance really necessary ? It’s not like we could even use regular Diancie in competition even if we wanted to …
I mean it looks beautiful so I ain’t complainin XD
Yeah it’s just very random. But I guess it’s suppose to correlate with the movie being released soon.
I think it’s kinda cool
